OUR STANDARDS

"CLIENT-FOCUSED" MEANS THAT WE FOCUS ON WHAT OUR CLIENTS FOCUS ON…THEIR CLIENTS

Being client-focused means that we care so much about our clients that we search within and beyond their needs to uncover not only what they’re after, but also what their clients are after. We look to this way of interaction as a solution-validating discipline, allowing us to serve our client’s with their best interests at heart by offering unique and relevant recommendations. It’s practical. It’s powerful, It’s personal.

LEADING PEOPLE TO THROW LADLES AT TIRED FOOD MODELS

We are a commercial food service design and experience firm driven to lead people to throw ladles at tired food models. We believe in the power of food, and in thinking differently about how we interact with our food. We believe that by challenging these outdated models we can evolve our homes, our schools, and our communities for better. We do this by transforming culinary spaces into beautiful, efficient, and educational ecosystems that yield a decrease in food waste, an increase in sustainable practices, and the cultivation of healthier thinking.

“VALUE-INSPIRED” IS HOW WE MOVE THROUGH EACH SPACE TO MAXIMIZE IT’S POTENTIAL

Is there a desire to reduce food waste, minimize energy consumption, or engage through leading technology? We hope so! We work smart to create and maintain relevant, measurable, and impactful value to every environment we touch. Maximizing the potential of each space is paramount to how our team prepares to drive transformation.

We intentionally lead our clients through the multifaceted transformation of their culinary spaces by practicing three techniques: active listening, empathetic reasoning, and visual discovery. This allows us to provide our clients with an engaging process that establishes conﬁdence and transparency every step along the way.
